Lord
Shiva has 5 faces; Isanam, Thatpurusham, Vaamadevam, Sathyojaatham and Agoram. There
are 5 ancient Shiva temples on the banks of Kosasthalaiyar (Brahmaranya River) representing
the 5 faces of Lord Shiva and this is one of them representing the Sathyojaatham
face of Lord Shiva.

The
Temple remains open from 07.00 AM to 12.00 Noon and 04.00 PM to 08.00 PM.

Prayers

By
worshipping the Kaala Bairavar here, one can live without the fear of death and
with extended life since Lord Shiva appeared as Kaala Bairavar. Also, the Kaala
Bairavar protects people from the evil effects of others. Pradosham is
considered very sacred sine a monkey got salvation after witnessing Pradosham
here. Since Indra’s Brahmaharthi Dhosham got cleared off, this is considered a
Dosha Parihara sthalam to clear off Doshams like Pithru Dhosham, Naga Dhosham
and Past Birth Doshams.

Marriage
prayers are answered since Lord Shiva appeared with his consort in marriage
pose to King Chithrasenan. Due to the flow of Ganga water, the place is
considered more sacred than Kasi. Goddess is present with her left leg in front
meaning that she is going out to fight enemies. So, by worshipping her, she
will make our obstacles vanish. Music, Pava Vimochana (Relief from Sin), any
boon you wish, Vidhya (Education), Kala Sarpa Dosha Nivarthi.
